So you want to tell me that you perfectly understand what an Alciuberre drive is and how to build it and how it will work in real life and because of that you can proof all my statements wrong. I can only laugh at that. I do not want to burst your dreams people, but such a drive is fantasy at the moment at best and i do not see anything relevant that it might be coming at some point in the future. My 4 statements where ment as an joke but obviously there are people without humor, and no there is no proof that black holes exit. It really does not matter if i believe it or not if they do exist, as long as we have no definitive proof everything is just theory. I would suggest that you open your mind also for other possibility's because you will be very dissapointed if anyone proofs something wrong, which you thought is the fundamental truth.

Nod32 is one of the resource friendliest AV i know. I am using it already 3 years without any problems.

Assuming that something absurd like the Alcubierre drive can be realized i thought of many possibilities what could happen: 1.) If the warp field is strong enough it will collapse the black hole. Something simmilar like popping a soap bubble. The field will pierce through the event horizon opening a hole for all the mass inside the black hole to escape. If the gravitational sheer do not kill you, the erupting mass from the black hole will.... 2.) The black hole will attach itself to your rear side of the warp bubble and follow you through the void. Where ever you try to escape you won't. 3.) Warp field calculations such near the event horizon fail. Your warpfield will collapse sucking you into the hole. This process however from a far observer will take thousands of years leaving plenty time for them to launch a kerbal rescue mission :-D 4.) Black holes are a lie, there are no such entitys in the universe (proof me wrong if u can)

It means only no Mechjeb or similar mods.

Task: The task is simple,start a new career game and bring a sample of the Mün back to Kerbin with only progressed to basic rocketry in the science path. Rules: You may use only start and basic rocketry parts from stock ksp parts, only exception is a Mechjeb or any other autopilot/engineering controller. Mechjeb may be modified to be available from the start. I included the modified part file for download for anyone who can't do it. Debug menu and any other cheats/exploits are forbidden. Jebediah must be in the Rocket. (just kidding, put anyone in it but you will have to listen to Jeb's complaints after it ) Winner will be the lightest craft at launch. Difficulty: Intermediate Achievements: Wernher van Kerbals proud: Finish the challenge with only using starter parts. (Do not know if this is even possible, maybe someone is crazy enough to try) No match for the brain: Fly without flight computer. Precision is everything: Finish with landing at the KSC. Weird flight path: Use only one command capsule. Orbit is a chewing gum: Finish without ever completing a whole orbit around Kerbin or the Mün. Good luck anyone with this. I have done this by myself and it is definitely possible. I will post my flight and design as soon as someone else finishes this. modified Mechjeb2 part file

The only thing right now we know for sure that warps space is mass. Attaching a black hole in front of your vehicle and keeping it there will create your warp drive ;-) P.S.: You will loose your warranty with the struts by doing so.

According to Einsteins theories this is not true. None of two objects can travel faster than light relative to each other even if they move away from each other at light speed. :-) It is weird but this is something many people do not understand about the theory.

To number 1. The warpfield streches behind and infront of the craft,also the light after the warp you are expecting to see won't be there because it is in the path of the vehicle. There is no chance for the light from the past to arrive without beeing disturbed by the craft itself. Only possibility maybe if the vehicle warp in a curve... But that can be deadly as we know from Star Trek :-D So 1 still no. Also after the warp, the same duration the warp travel took there should be no light at all incoming from the departure direction so just a black hole visible or not visible because you can't see something that is not there ^^ 2 3 and 4 i need to rethink indeed... that is a though nut

Well here is my submission... however it is not that efficient like yours Red Iron Crown, will try to optimize it. Also i was not able yet to get the capsule into orbit, it seems that a few 100 dV always are missing. I have to try to optimize ascend path.... Another thing is i did not include any possibility for a walk so there are no ladders. Mass at EVE landing and liftoff: 65.9t Craft File

My Theory: 1->No 2->No 2->No All light emitting from a craft in a warp field would be affected by this warp field too. So basically the light will travel faster then light inside the warp field so no to 1 and 2 and 3. 4 Probably human eyes would not see anything or to be more precise the brain would not register it. Some sort of high speed camera might record the ftl flyby however the recording timemark could be offset with the real position of the craft on that timemark.

one just simply can not produce thrust without rockeeets :-) seriously... there is no impuls without sacrifying mass.... it's simple as that... that machine would't do anything beside wobbling in a 0g vacuum enviroment....

I am pretty new to this game and i don't want to disgrace myself. I won't submit until i see at least one design from someone else.

This detail has huge impact on the design, i do not like the idea of making two categories now :-( you screwed my whole day designing

I guess at launch does mean before liftoff, so if you going to fire you engines and jettison your landing gear at the same time the weight before that counts. If you manage to jettison the stuff before you fire the engines it is a different story however i do not see a possibility to jettison the landing gear because it is needed for landing and for take of too, eve will crush your vessel without it....

Can't you people read???? It is already specified that it is only stock parts with the exception of mechjeb or another engineer module to calculate dV.

No i do not think the new parts are OP. Anyone who does not like them should not use them, it's as easy as that. Nerfing things in a single player game is just ridiculous. How can someone claim that this game is multiplayer? Where in this game (beside MP mods) do you shoot other people with rockets? Sorry but this nerfing discussion lacks any fundament. You can nerf stuff in MMO's where people fight each other and some specific type of build is OP and it's not fun to play against people using this builds. KSP is a single player game made for you to have fun building rockets you can not build in RL. Where is the sense in nerfing parts in this game beside satisfying some guys which think they must have it their way. Sorry NO. I do not want it like that. Do not nerf the new parts. Everybody not liking them don't use them or edit them to your needs. Dev's had a good reason making them like they are now and they are based on real space tech from Nasa. So please no nerf. Thanks.
